Fishing Report
Fishing Forecast
Bluegill were sampled in good numbers, but size is topping out around 6 inches. White crappie are abundant. Most crappie are 7 to 8.5 inches, but some larger fish were found up to 14.5 inches. Largemouth bass were again sampled in low numbers and ranged in size from 8 to 16 inches. Channel catfish were not targeted in 2010 surveys due to the large sample in 2009. Channel catfish are the most abundant game fish within Grays Lake. Grays Lake was flooded multiple times again in 2010, keeping up a good supply of undesirable species. 2012 update: Hybrid white bass(wipers) are now present and range in size from 8 to 11.5 inches. The wipers should continue to grow and provide anglers with a unique catch and a good fight.(2010)
